Who woke up Ginsberg? And why?

Sorry to be a worry wort, but I am beginning to wonder WHY this is taking so long and WHY is this decision coming up last?

According to those in the know, most decisions are rendered shortly after the arguments, thus this case should have been decided a long time ago.

Hope my concern is for naught, but after yesterday's decision, can blame a person for being antsy.

If she does, it will be light on the Constitution, and heavy on emotion. Oh...it may have some South African law thrown in.

I wouldn’t make too much of this. Ginsburg has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. She probably is doing well just to get up in the morning.

When they gave justices lifetime tenure, our Founders never dreamed people would be living and thus, serving, into their 80s and 90s. This needs to be changed to a term of 20 years, max.

Given the flippant absurdity in Nancy Pelosi's handling of the bill:

“We have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

The entire bill should be scrapped.

[Cyber Liberty]

After yesterday I’m more concerned she’s written the *majority* opinion.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I just pray that Ginsburg is not writing the majority opinion and Roberts the dissent.

[Erik Latranyi]

In other words —— WE KNOW NOTHING!

[Marathoner]

Well, if she is in fact writing the dissent, is that not a good sign ? (hope and pray this is so)

[Dead Corpse]

So was the issue of severability already addressed? That without such a clause in the legislation that striking any portion of it down strikes the whole shebang?

I guess we'll find out Thursday.

Scotus Blog said late on Monday that John Roberts is writing the majority opinion on Obamacare and they seemed pretty sure of themselves (the guy that does the blog has reported on the Supreme Court for over 50 years). I didn't completely understand the reasoning, but in had something to do with the order the Court announces opinions, with the most senior justice in the Majority giving the ruling with the Chief Justice being considered the most senior regardless of tenure. Because Roberts was the most senior justice on the Arizona case, but allowed Kennedy to announce the ruling instead. The conventional wisdom is that Roberts was giving up his “turn” so he could announce the Obamacare ruling on Thursday. (I guess it is considered bad form or something for a senior justice to annouce rulings back to back.)

[SoFloFreeper]

Ginsburg is the old lady who was observed sleeping during a recent session of the Court, right? Are we certain she even writes her own opinions?

I believe it is a well known fact that toward the end of his time on the bench, Thurgood Marshall’s clerks wrote his opinions while he watched soap operas and took naps.

Guest on Hugh Hewitt yesterday said that Chief Justice Roberts will (most likely) be writing the health care smack-down.

What happens when ObamaCare is struck down in entirety and ObamaCare issues and executive order making ObamaCare the law of the land?
